Don’t you hate it when gorgeous new cookware just shows up on your doorstep? I mean really…who needs all those beautiful shiny stainless steel pots and pans anyway? Who wants that stuff cluttering up their kitchen, making it easier and more fun to cook wonderful low carb recipes? Certainly not this girl. I hate to cook. I hate to eat. I really don’t like to think about food at all, if I can help it. It’s just such a nuisance, don’t you think?

Oh wait, wait a second. This is All Day I Dream About Food and I’m the nut job who loves to cook and bake and really does dream about food all day. And one of the glorious benefits of my job is that shiny new cookware really does arrive on my doorstep for me to review. And one of the benefits of being a follower of the nut job who loves to cook is that this same shiny new cookware from Lagostina might also arrive on YOUR doorstep too!

I don’t say yes to a lot of review products anymore because quite frankly, it’s not always worth my time and energy. But the new Luminosa 11 piece cookware set from Lagostina really looked so good, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to try it out. I admit that the price point gave me pause. It’s a very reasonable $199 at Bed Bath and Beyond, which actually sounded a little too good to be true for a whole set of good cookware. But I have one lovely Lagostina soup pot already and I know it’s good craftsmanship so I thought I’d see how this whole set held up.

I am happy to report that my fears were unfounded. It not only LOOKS the part, with those unique hammered lids, but it plays the part too, being very durable and of high quality. It has real heft in your hand, which is one of my telltale signs of good cookware. It has a the 3-ply bonded base with stainless steel inside and out, and since it’s oven and broiler save up to 500ºF, it can go straight from stovetop to oven. The brushed cooking surface is made of premium grade stainless steel and the stay-cool handles are riveted on for extra durability. Picking it up, you simply feel that you have a good pan in your hands.

Okay, so that’s how it feels…how does it actually cook? I have a very powerful gas stove and that was the real test. I had another set of stainless steel cookware that I never felt lived up to the heat of my stove. Things were always sticking to the bottom and burning onto the sides. So I was impressed when the Lagostina sauté pan heated evenly and cooked evenly, with no sticking or burning. I also tried it out on my little single induction burner and it heated beautifully there too.

I was asked to create a summer seafood meal that could be enjoyed al fresco so I chose an old favorite, Greek Shrimp, and gave it a delicious low carb makeover. This recipe was perfect for testing out the pots, as you use both the stove and the oven. Lagostina is well known for its beautiful design so it really does go from stove to oven to table without skipping a beat. Truly perfect for enjoying your meals al fresco.

And now, you get a chance to have it show up on your doorstep! Enter below!

In a large oven-proof saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and sauté 30 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes and bring to a simmer. Cook 5 minutes.

Lay the shrimp in a single layer over the tomatoes and sprinkle with the parmesan and 1/2 cup of the feta. Place the pan in the oven and bake until the shrimp is pink and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.

Remove and sprinkle with the remaining feta and some fresh chopped parsley. Serve over cauliflower rice.

Hey Carolyn – this is about June 29 2016 and enjoyed your comments about Canada being 149 to the point I copied and held them. Hope you don’t mind but I combined some of your comments with mine on SSRFanatic.com while I wished for all of us Canadians and Canada a Happy 150.
I follow your blog, but being a single guy just cant do all the stuff I would like to
So, Happy Canada Day – Happy Independence Day!

My favorite meal alfresco is simple, a well seasoned medium rare steak and horiatiki (Greek village salad)! Love, love love this meal during the summer. I even occasionally indulge in a glass of red wine to go with it! The Greek shrimp recipe is what caught my eye on this blog post…I married into a Greek family and have fallen in love with the cuisine!

Up until now it was Polish sausages or burgers on the grill but with this cookware, I could expand my horizons. I’m working with aluminum based cookware currently but would love to have stainless in my life.

I absolutely love your blog and it is the first place I go to find great tasting diabetic recipes. And your giveaway gift are just as good! I would love a new set of cookware..I have 3 pots from 3 different sets that are beat up m but still cook good enough. I do have a few great pieces of cast iron inherited from my great mamaw, my gram, and my mom. Keep up the good work dreaming of food and creating great recipes!!! And thank your for your hard work and generous spirit

My favorite meal al fresco we call deli night! It’s just deli sandwiches on usually special rolls from the deli with chips and grapes. This of course was before THM. But my kids loved it for some crazy reason! I think it was all the love that went into it!

Thanks for posting such great recipes. I love the stainless steel cookware. I was unable to cook for for a few years so I passed my set down to one of the kids. Have longed to get them back, but alas, they are in good hands and being used, so they have a forever home.

Al fresco? Haha! I don’t even know what that means! I’ve always been a meat and potatoes girl but through websites like yours I’m branching out. Still unsure of cooking terms but loving the new tastes!

I see the mention of cauliflower rice at the end of your recipe. I just want to be sure I’m right to assume that the nutritional information is just for the ingredients for the main dish and do not include the cauliflower rice. Thanks so much!

But if I were to have to actually cook something it would involve chicken, mushrooms, water chestnuts, garlic, and Romaine lettuce leaves or Bibb lettuce. So, since I don’t have any crab on hand, I think I am going to go make the later. YUM.

This cookware is beautiful. I agree, $199 doesn’t sound like it would be worthwhile. Most cookware sets are hundreds of dollars. I really need new cookware, I keep thinking I can get along. I’m getting tired of ‘getting along’

I absolutely love your blog! I’m pinning something new from it just about every day. Today it was your mini chocolate peanut butter layer cake. I just bought some 4″ cake pans a couple of weeks ago, so I’ll be trying that out VERY shortly, and I can’t wait!

This look great – I love your recipes! I don’t usually make al fresco recipes for my husband and I, but with the heat something fresh like this seems perfect! Definitely adding this to the menu this week 🙂

I just got back from Spain where the al fresco dining on tapas is amazing! My favorites were pork “secret” (a pork-belly-like dish in the Basque region), manchego cheese with olive oil, marinated olives, and charred paquillo peppers. Yum! Oh, and a glass of local white wine.

Cooked this recipe tonight and loved it! Served it over modest portions of Engine 9 brand grain pilaf, with green salad on the side. The garlic, tomatoes and cheeses really go well with juicy big shrimp! Thank you….this one is a keeper!

Our favorite el fresco meal is likely portabello mushrooms roasted on the grill along with roasted vidalia onions and peppers topped with pepper jack cheese and slices of garden fresh tomatoes on the side.

Fave al fresco?? Has to be burrito bowls. Love em!! But this sounds pretty darn good too!! Love Greek flavors; thanks for the new recipe!
As far as the cook ware…. Oh please pick me!! All my pans are warping from excessive use and old age. I love em, but they’re need to be replaced, and these are beautiful and durable! Pretty please?!? 😉

Love your blog! Your recipes are the best! Our current family favorite is just about any dessert. My gluten-free daughter and I enjoyed your kentucky butter cake with lots of strawberries and whipped cream while we watched fireworks last night.
